Study the Beauty and Diversity of Life

Biology professionals explore the function, development, and growth of the living systems that make our natural world. Their goal is to understand the building blocks of complex living structures and apply that learning to address real world issues.

Biology Majors Pursue Careers in:

The majority of students majoring in Biological Science will continue their education through graduate programs or professional studies.

Students collaborate with professors by conducting research in their field, or take advantage of opportunities to perform research at Portland area facilities, such as Oregon Health & Science University. Warner Pacific also participates in the Murdock Scholars program, a forum for original research and presentations.

Growing up, I experienced a lot of discrimination in school. Being a Mexican-American student in a primarily white school created many disadvantages for me. Many people doubted my pursuit in education but the stereotypical comments built resilience within me. At Warner Pacific, I was not discriminated against because of my culture, ethnicity, or skin color. I am blessed because I experienced a learning environment where I was able to feel comfortable with who I am while being fully supported by the community.

I definitely feel that Warner Pacific played the largest role in helping me gain the confidence I needed to step out into the real world, ready to engage and network with others from all walks of life.

Graduating from Warner Pacific, I am far more self-aware and concerned with the injustices of the world. I have grown into a person that embodies and values the importance of mutual respect and critical thought. I am so grateful to have spent my college years an environment that encourages the pursuit of justice, diversity, inclusion, and equity.
